I haven't seen any evidence that Israel tortures children, beyond sometimes failing to notify parents when a child is detained for cause.
Because you are a liar, in denial and generally disgusting. Additionally you consider the UN anti-Semitic liars and an Arab tool. This is how fucked you actually are.
I could post countless stories from the victims themselves, but you will deny that, pretend they were written for propaganda purposes like the children's drawings and stay in your clueless delusion. I don't give a shit about you and your bullshit, the world knows and your day of reckoning is coming faster than you can see.
Teaching a child how to stab someone in the neck, strapping a bomb to a child, handing a child a weapon or employing children to build tunnels are all in evidence and clearly CHILD ABUSE. Care to comment on that? Or will you remain a hypocrite?
I will comment on your lies and hasbara speak when you start a thread. This one is about TORTURING CHILDREN!
Effen idiot you are.
Have I been in any way unclear? I don't believe I have, but let's re-iterate.
1. Torturing people (let alone children) is abhorrent. No matter who does it. If Israel does it (and I'm not convinced), then it is abhorrent and I condemn it.
2. Arresting children for committing crimes, while unpleasant, is necessary if the child is putting the lives of others at risk. But arresting children is not torture. It is law enforcement.
3. Children absolutely require special consideration during arrest and detention -- dependent upon their age and the nature of the danger they pose to others. Arrest and detention are not torture. The fact that children get frightened while being arrested is not torture. (Also, Pallywood -- eye roll).
4. Adults (especially parents) who use children or permit children to participate in dangerous activities hold the responsibility for the consequences of those dangerous activities. The responsibility does not fall on the LEOs who protect the safety of both targets of the dangerous activities and the children themselves. The responsibility rests solely and completely with the adults or parents who permit or encourage those activities in their children. Further, it is the responsibility of the entire society or culture to address that societal or cultural norm.
Now, since the subject of this thread, as you pointed out, is the torture of children -- let's discuss the 160 children who died building tunnels for Hamas/Gaza. Is that torture? It is certainly child abuse. A violation of international law. A violation of all sense of ethics and morality. Let's talk about teaching children the "correct" way to stab an Israeli (read: Jew). Let's talk about mimicking the wearing of a bomb or a suicide vest. Let's talk about actually strapping a bomb onto a child. And then praising them for being willing to die in the act of killing Jews.
If we are going to discuss the treatment of children -- let's also discuss the million children who are in prisons around the world right now. Let's discuss the children who are in prison solely because their parents are there. Let's talk about the children whose hands are removed with a sword blade for petty theft. Or who are sold into sexual slavery. Or forced to marry a man four times her age and then raped repeatedly. Let's talk about the children having their genitals mutilated, removed, sewn shut. Let's talk about the girls who are shot at because they go to school. Let's talk about the children sitting on death row in the US.
We don't need a new thread to discuss the torture of children. THIS is a thread to discuss the torture of children. See, the problem is that you don't actually want to talk about the torture of children. You want to make Israel look bad. And you know what, Israel does, sometimes, look bad. Israel does sometimes do things that people are rightly critical of. But Israel's treatment of children, is FAR better than most nations, even despite the particular difficulties the Palestinians deliberately impose on Israel. And Palestine and Gaza are both FAR more egregious in their treatment of children than Israel is.
